In a letter dated March 28, 1481, th' administratur o' th' Azores, D. Beatriz, gav th' possession 0' th' islain o' Pico tae th' first Keptin o' th' Donatarie, D. Alvaro d' Ornelas, a resident o' islain o' Madeira, oan th' condition 'att he populate th' islain ('Keptins', aft o' noble heritage (Hoo flaterin'! 😄), obtained lain rights in regions nae important enaw tae merit a 'Governor', (Say Whit?! 🤨) an' waur a hoddin way fur th' state tae settle new territory.
d'Ornelas failed tae attract settlers, sae oan Dizember 29, 1482, th' Flemish Keptin o' th' islain o' Faial, Jós d'Hutra, becam th' new Keptin. Th' transfer o' th' islain o' Pico tae Jós d'Hutra nae only confirms 'att Pico wisnae colonized at th' end o' th' 15th century, but also demonstrates th' interest in boostin' th' population o' th' islands o' th' central groop. Thes was understandable given th' growin' geo-economic importance o' th' Azores archipelago at th' time, as th' Portuguese Monarchy was expandin' intae Morocco an' alang th' West Africar coest.

I agree with you, it is present and it is good to see it browsing.
Don't worry, the important thing is that you are here.
I wish you a happy weekend
Thanks, you as well.

I wish you a happy weekend
Greetings Keptin,
Yes Sair! Staying tuned!
Gunnery practice, as the Commander suggested some time back is a suggestion.
However, I cannot help but think something quite serious has happened....the team is unresponsive. Have they flown any distress flags?
Kind Regards Sair!
